MUMBAI: Over 1,000 pilots of the struggling non-public service Jet Airways have decided to go ahead with their "no flying" name from April 1 following the airline failing to receive finances from the banks on Friday, its pilots guild has stated.
The airline stated in a statement that each effort was once being made to revive normalcy of operations.
The National Aviators Guild (NAG), the body claiming representation of a few 1,100 pilots at Jet Airways, had remaining week announced its determination to not fly from April 1 if their pending salaries were not cleared and readability at the revival plan not provided by way of March 31.
Days after that, the airline's ownership went into the fingers of SBI-led consortium of banks below a debt-recast plan.
"A part of the expected interim funding from SBI was supposed to be actioned on March 29. Unfortunately, the fund transfer has not taken place, and there is also no update on salary payment from the management. The collective decision of pilots taken at Mumbai and Delhi open house effective April 1 prevails," NAG president Karan Chopra stated in a overdue evening conversation to his participants.
Jet Airways pilots at the side of engineers and senior control have not been paid for about four months now.
"As announced earlier this week, the airline's lenders and its management team would like to reiterate that every effort is being made to inject adequate liquidity into the company, to quickly restore normalcy of operations, ensuring due compliance with all appropriate legal processes/ formalities at the same time," a Jet Aiways spokesperson stated in a statement.
"While acknowledging the support of each and every member of its family, Jet Airways especially recognises the contribution of its pilots, AMEs and members of its senior management, who have sacrificed personal interests and have gone beyond their call of duty in order to ensure safe and reliable operations for the airlines guests," it stated.
Earlier on Friday, a supply stated that around 200 pilots had written for my part to Jet CEO Vinay Dube, threatening to go on "leave of absence", and they have been also making plans to take felony recourse over non-payment of wage.
A supply within the pilots' community stated around 200 pilots have written to the CEO flagging concerns about non-payment of salaries. The pilots are also participants of the NAG, the supply added.
